Back in the 1970's, when publishing a periodical, I stated that the day would
come when roaming gangs would be openly robbing and pillaging throughout the
United States. People thought I was nuts, right? Well, it has begun,
and it is going to increase in the days ahead. Read on to see what is
happening, and why. Many cities can no longer afford their police
officers, and are laying them off in droves. Some cities no longer answer
many calls for help.

As the U.S. economy collapses, the thin veneer of civilization that
we all take for granted is going to begin to disappear. In fact,
there are already an increasing number of signs that the collapse of
society is accelerating. In cities such as Chicago, roving packs
of young people are "mob robbing" local businesses, randomly
assaulting tourists and shoppers and are even pulling people out of
vehicles. This isn't just happening in the "bad areas"
anymore. Over the past couple of months this type of crime has been
common in some of the wealthiest areas of Chicago. In fact, many
Chicago residents are now referring to "the Magnificent
Mile" as "the Mug Mile". But it isn't just in
Chicago that this is happening. During this past Memorial Day
weekend, cities all over the United States experienced a stunning wave
of mass violence. We are supposed to be an "example"
for the rest of the world, but as our economic wealth crumbles we are
witnessing the collapse of society all around us. So what is
going to happen when the economy gets even worse?

The United States used to be a fairly civilized society. But
now very few people seem to care how they treat others. That is
even the case with our own government. As you will see below,
the government is now sending SWAT teams in and dragging people out of
their homes over unpaid student loans.

So if the government is going to be so brutal, what kind of message
does that send to our young people?

Today our young people are facing a future that looks incredibly
bleak. It is hard to have faith in the "system" when
the "system" simply does not work any longer.

What are you supposed to say to a young person when you know very
well that there are no jobs and that there is very little hope?

Most Americans don't understand what is causing the
collapse of the economy, but most of them do have a sinking
feeling that something has seriously gone wrong.

For the last few years the American people have waited patiently
for our politicians to "fix things", but they have not
gotten the job done.

Instead, our economic situation is still declining.

So now frustration is starting to boil over, and it is only going
to get worse.

The following are 18 signs that the collapse of society is
accelerating....

#1 In a brand new article, Janet
Tavakoli has vividly described the wave of shocking violence that
is currently sweeping the city of Chicago. What she says is
happening to Chicago right now is beyond alarming....

This year, all hell has broken loose in downtown Chicago.
Years of under-hiring have resulted in a police force that is
unprepared for wildings and gang violence. Moreover, concealed carry
in Chicago is illegal, unless one follows the Constitution.

Tourists and residents have been attacked by mobs of youths
on buses, on beaches, on bicycle paths, near the shops of the
Magnificent Mile, and outside their homes. Mobs of shoplifters
plagued "Mug Mile" stores.

Terror has descended on many of the wealthiest areas of Chicago.
Some are even calling on Chicago residents to completely avoid areas
like the Magnificent Mile during the weekends until more police are
brought in.

Mobs of young people are "swarming" retail stores,
assaulting shoppers and pedestrians and even pulling people out of
their cars.

The following is one eyewitness account of the "wildings"
in Chicago that Tavakoli included in
her recent article....

At about 11pm last Friday night, June 3rd, I heard shouting,
screaming, horns blaring and tires screeching from my
apartment...When I looked out my window to the street below I saw a
crowd of about 20 young people...directly across the street from the
entrance to my building. They were leaning on parked cars and
clogging the street. They were screaming at people walking and
driving by. I watched them stop vehicles, including taxi cabs, and
pull people from the vehicles...It was a frightening scene and I was
sure someone was going to be hurt.

#2 If you don't pay your student loans you may
find yourself getting dragged out of your home by a SWAT team.

You doubt this?

The following is how
an article in The Daily Mail recently described one recent SWAT
team raid in California that was apparently ordered by the Department
of Education....

A father was dragged from his home and handcuffed in front of
his children by a SWAT team looking for his estranged wife - to
collect her unpaid student loans.

A stunned Kenneth Wright had his front door kicked in by the
raiding party at 6 am yesterday before being dragged onto his front
porch, handcuffed and led to a police car with his three children.

He says he was then detained for six hours while officers
looked for his wife - who no longer lives at the house.

#3 One town in Connecticut was forced to shut down
a beautiful new fountain because too many people were
using it as a toilet.

#4 This most recent Memorial Day weekend, cities
all over America literally turned into war
zones. There were reports of mass
violence in Miami, New York, Chicago, Charlotte, Myrtle Beach,
Nashville and Boston among other places.

If you want to see video of some of the violence in Miami as it was
happening, you can view it here.
The video is quite disturbing so please don't let any small children
view it.

#5 One of the hottest books in America right now
is a "children's book" entitled "Go
The F*k To Sleep".

#7 In New York City, one 32-year-old man was
recently charged with sexually assaulting an
85-year-old woman.

#8 Democratic strategist James Carville recently
made national headlines when he told talk show host Don Imus the
following....

"You know, look — this is a humanitarian — you know,
you’re smart enough to see this . . . People, you know, if it
continues, we’re going to start to see civil unrest in this
country. I hate to say that, but I think it’s imminently
possible."

#9According
to one new study, the percentage of U.S. households that contain a
married couple with children has fallen from 44.3% in 1960 to 20.2%
today.

#10 In Atlanta, two dozen teens recently violently
assaulted two Delta flight attendants on a train for no apparent
reason. The following is how a
local Atlanta newspaper described the attacks....

Their "Clockwork Orange" style blitz was over soon
after it began. The teens boarded the train, headed to Hartsfield-Jackson
International Airport, at the Garnett station a little after
midnight seemingly intent on instilling fear. They succeeded.

“There was blood everywhere, people were hollering and
screaming,” a witness told Channel 2 Action News. “We were
intimidated. People were terrified. People were trying to run. But
there was nowhere to run.”

#11 Federal prosecutors in Indianapolis have
announced that they have broken up one of the largest child
pornography rings ever discovered. It was based in
Bloomington, Indiana.

Are any small towns still safe?

#12 Barack Obama's food safety chief is defending
armed raids of raw milk producers (including a raid on an Amish
farmer) and he says that the FDA will "keep
doing our public health job".

#14 In Sioux City, Iowa a 41 year old man recently
walked into the office where his boss worked and
beat the living daylights out of him. The boss suffered four
chipped teeth and needed surgery to repair his nose. Apparently
the boss was planning to fire the man.

#15 A 20-year-old woman in Oklahoma has been
charged with
killing the family cat and using the blood as part of a costume
she planned to wear to a Lady Gaga concert.

#16 McDonald's recently held a "National
Hiring Day" and about a million Americans showed up to apply
for jobs at McDonald's restaurants all around the nation. Well,
in Cleveland a horrible fight broke out between some girls and it
ended up with three people being run over by a car. You can view
video of this incident right
here. Please do not watch the video if you are sensitive to
graphic violence.

#17 All over the United States, vicious restaurant
brawls have been erupting with alarming frequency and many of them are
being posted up on YouTube for the world to see. You can see one
example of this phenomenon right
here.

#18 From coast to coast, "mob robbing"
has become a very disturbing trend.

So what is a "mob robbing"?

Well, basically dozens of young people storm into a store together,
grab whatever they want, and storm back out again.

So does anyone still doubt that we are starting to see the collapse
of society?

Sadly, things are going to get a whole lot worse.

In response to a recent article entitled "The
Coming Economic Hell For American Families", a frequent
commenter on my site known as "El Pollo De Oro" left the
following comment about the collapse of society that is beginning to
unfold....

Yes, it’s going to be VERY violent in The Banana Republic
of America. Carjacking, kidnapping, drug trafficking, armed robbery
and murder for hire will be major growth industries in the BRA when
millions of formerly middle class Americans, now the
neo-poor/neo-peasants, become increasingly desperate. The horrifying
violence in Mexico will become a fact of life on this side of the
border, the brutal kidnappings of the Philippines and Papua New
Guinea will plague the BRA as well. Formerly middle class Americans
who find themselves living in shantytown slums won’t like their
new accommodations, and many of them will turn to violent crime in
the hope of improving their miserable circumstances.

The truth is that about the only thing keeping our
society together has been the unprecedented affluence that we have
been enjoying over the past few decades.

Once that affluence is gone, the true character of the American
people will come out, and we may not like what we see.

That is one reason why I pound on the economic
crisis this nation is facing day after day. Once our wealth
is gone, there is going to be chaos in the streets of
America.
